Tightening torque
Oil pan drain plug: 35-45 Nm (350-450 kg. cm, 25-33 lb. ft)
NOTE: Whenever tightening the oil drain plug, use a new drain plug gasket.
5. Fill the new engine oil through the oil filler cap.
Oil quantity: 4.4 Liters (4.6 U.S. qts., 3.9 Imp. qts.)
NOTE: Do not over fill. This will cause oil aeration and loss of oil pressure.
FILTER SELECTION
All KIA Motors Corporation engines are equipped with a high quality, disposable oil filter. This filter is
recommended as a replacement filter for all vehicles. The quality of after market replacement filters varies
considerably.
High quality of replacement filters should be used to assure the most efficient service. Make sure that the rubber
gasket from the old oil filter is completely removed from the contact surface on the engine block before
installing a new filter.

5. After stopping the engine, check the oil level and add oil as necessary.
CAUTION: Radiator coolant may be extremely hot. Do not open the system while
hot, or scalding engine coolant could gush out, causing personal
injury. Allow the vehicle to cool before servicing this system.
When the tester is removed, be careful not to spill any coolant from
it.
Be sure to clean away completely any coolant from the area.
Be careful, when installing and removing the tester and when testing,
not to deform the filler neck of the radiator.

9. Repeat steps 6 to 8 for all cylinders, making sure that the pressure difference for each of the cylinders is
within the specified limit.
Limit:
10. If a cylinder's compression or pressure differential is outside the specification, add a small amount of oil
through the spark plug hole, and repeat steps 6 to 9.
1. If the addition of oil causes the compression to rise, it is possible that the piston ring is be worn.
2. If the compression remains the same, valve seizure, poor valve seating or a compression leak in the
cylinder head gasket are all possible causes.

As the intake and exhaust valves are equipped with hydraulic lash adjusters, there is no need to adjust the valve
clearance. The proper function of the hydraulic lash mechanism may be determined by checking for tappet
noise. When there is a tappet noise or any unusual noise, check the hydraulic lash adjuster by removing and
bleeding or replacing it.
1. Hang the belt on the pulley of the tensioner and install the tensioner.
(If the tensioner is already installed, loosen its mounting bolts to allow belt installation.)

CAUTION: Keep the bearings in order with their corresponding connecting rods
(according to cylinder numbers) for proper reassembly.
1. Remove the connecting rod cap bolts, then remove the caps and the big end lower bearing mark for
reassembly.
2. Push each piston connecting rod assembly toward the top of the cylinder.
INSPECTION
1. Check each piston for scuffing, scoring, wear and other defects. Replace any piston that is defective.
2. Check each piston ring for breakage, damage and abnormal wear. Replace the defective rings. When the
piston requires replacement, its rings should also be replaced.
3. Check that the piston pin fits in the piston pin hole. Replace any piston and pin assembly that is defective.
The piston pin must be pressed smoothly by hand into the pin hole (at room temperature).
PISTON RINGS
1. Measure the piston ring side clearance. If the measured value exceeds the service limit, insert a new ring
in the ring groove to measure the side clearance. If the clearance still exceeds the service limit, replace the
piston and rings together. If it is less than the service limit, replace only the piston rings.
2. To measure the piston ring end gap, insert a piston ring into the cylinder bore. Position the ring at right
angles to the cylinder wall by gently pressing it down with a piston. Measure the gap with a feeler gauge.
If the gap exceeds the service limit, replace the piston ring.
[Standard dimensions]
When replacing the ring without correcting the cylinder bore, check the gap with the ring situated at the lower

NOTE: The mark can be found on the upper side of the ring next to the end.
CONNECTING RODS
1. When the connecting rod cap is installed, make sure that the cylinder numbers, marked on rod end cap at
disassembly, match. When a new connecting rod is installed, make sure that the notches holding the
bearings in place are on the same side.
2. Replace the connecting rod if it is damaged at either end of the thrust faces. If it has a stratified wear, or if
the surface of the inside diameter of the small end is severely rough, replace the rod.
